This webinar brings together parliamentarians from South Korea and the UK to discuss their countries’ respective responses to the COVID-19 crisis. The speakers consider some of the innovative changes brought about by COVID-19 in both countries including the introduction of telehealth platforms in the UK and the use of contact-tracing mobile applications in South Korea. They share the lessons learned from their respective responses to the pandemic and discuss how societies can best balance the need for both privacy and technology.
This event is held in partnership with Yeosijae (Future Consensus Institute). The webinar will be recorded and simultaneously translated into Korean/English.
